I have a feeling the place I am interviewing with will give me the offer that day, since it is a second interview and they originally wanted me to start in mid Dec (I told them I would need to give 2 weeks). However, if I tell my current job that I am going to a dentist appt and then put my notice in shortly after (to make sure I give 2 full wks) wont they know I lied about the appt? I dont want to leave a bad impression there, what can I do?

I hear that a common way to start an interveiw is for the interviewer to ask the interveiwee to tell a joke. I would like to be prepared if this is asked of me in an upcoming interview and I can not think of any appropriate and funny jokes.

I'm thinking about going back to my former employer to see if they have a job for me. Should I call them or go down there?

I am part of a team who are interviewing many candidates for employment for a large government contract. We have talked to almost 100 people. One thing that stands out in the process is how many people are incredibly nervous and ill at ease while interviewing for a job. Their ability to make small talk during the early part of the interview is very shocking. Most are just terrible at exchanging pleasantries during the first few minutes of the process.

Is it the cell phone generation and a computer driven communication culture that has eliminated people's ability to speak one on one? Why are people so nervous?

Often you are asked for references. Should you tell our current employer if you want to look for something else?

I've worked before in a female-dominated profession (veterinary hospital). I know that in a workplace with a lot of women there can be a lot of gossiping, lies, and hate-talk going around It personally drives me nuts. I mean, I know that's what women do. That's how they communicate and relieve their emotions. But it drove me crazy at the animal hospital.

So my question is, if I pursue nursing, while I go crazy working in a female-dominated workplace?

I do not know what to do.....I am serioulsy confused right now!

Okay, I got this job at this mortgage/insurance place. I am supposed to start work offically on December 3!
Anyway...I am only 20, and my husband and I just bought our first place, so right now our money is very tight!!
Well, last weekened I took a insurance class that cost me a little over 400 dollars!!
It really put as back, and we are scraping as of now! Then, my boss wanted me to go to another training class this week, and there was just no way I could afford the gas of going all the way across town. NOW, he is upset with me, and thinks that I am slacking off.....he thinks that not having money is no excuse!
Plus, I am upset because technically I am not supposed to start working until next week, and he is mad at me because I didnt go to a training class this week!I dont know what to do because I am a dedicated person...I just cant afford to go to all these things hes sending me to!
What should I do????

I always wanted to get into advertising and marketing. After graduating I got a job (training followed by a confirmation) in a leading ad agency. Sounds good, doesn’t it?

Problem is guys, it’s been four months and I haven't really done anything meaningful. I didn’t learn anything during my training.

I am assisting one of the account directors with his projects. He keeps giving me bits and pieces. But I feel I am not doing anything and not learning anything. Sometimes for weeks I wouldn’t do anything at all. Only thing keeps me here is reputation of the agency but at the same time I think if I won’t learn anything then what’s the point? Is this a common problem when you start your career?

I had an interview today and I must admit that I suck at interviews. I am not that polished and often freeze up on trick questions. I was nailed and drilled this morning and the interviewer did not find me fascinating. I can tell by the look in her eyes. I am a hard worker. I catch on quick but I just flat out suck on interviews. I don't think that I am going to get this job. I was really unprepared to answer 50 questions and spend 1 whole hour and a half there. She didn't crack a smile. She was very firm and serious. I felt a little offended and intimidated. She asked the same questions over and over but they were worded differently. She wanted me to role play with her the type of work I did at my previous position. I got really nervous and screwed up. She criticized the way my previous job did business. What do you guys think? Have you ever sucked on an interview and still got the job? Do a bad interview really means that you will be a bad employee, is that how they look at it?

There's an opening at a company in my field (graphic design). However, they are asking for a salary history and "resumes without salary history will not be considered". I have been at my current job for 2 1/2 years and started in a junior level position, took the position to gain experience after getting my bachelor's degree in art/design, and build my portfolio which I have done. I now have 3-4 years of professional full-time experience and should be considered mid-level but my current company is too cheap to give me a big jump in salary for mid-level. I also have another additional bachelor's degree (multimedia), but those skills are not being used in my current company even though I've offered it to my managers so I can be more valuable and grow. With my 2 degrees, my skills and experience (based on market rate) I can make at least $10k more. Should I lie about my current salary on my salary history to get this big jump, and can they verify it? I don't want to be lowballed again.
